    Study the following statements and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    Statements:        No Planet is a Moon

    Some Moon are Star All Axis are Planet Only a few Sun are Axis Conclusions: I) No Axis is a Star II) Some Planet are Sun III) Some Star are Axis
    A Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Either I or III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II and either I or III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All I, II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No Planet is a Moon (E) + Some Moon are Star (I) → Some Star are not Planet (O) + All Axis are Planet (A) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follows but it will make a complementary pair. Hence either conclusion I or III follows. Some Sun are Axis (I) + All Axis are Planet (A) → Some Sun are Planet (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
